Part of the reason why Trump did so well in the GOP primary was because despite the horror of what he is and what he represents, he was basically the good guy in that crowd of devils Also part of the reason he did well in the general because while he is a corrupt fascist piece of poo poo aristocratic failson, Hillary was just as evidently corrupt. While she was ultimately the lesser evil, a whole lot of people are still in denial in voting for the greater one, if they haven't already embraced their demonic nature.

Trump won because he promised jobs to people that had been totally forgotten and betrayed for 4 decades.

The election was won by Trump switching former Obama voters in a place that has been deindustrialized and abandoned so badly that it's literally called The Rust Belt. The deep red states were always gonna vote GOP but if it had been Ted Cruz vs Bernie Sanders, dems would have won the rust belt and thus the presidency.

Grape posted:lol what the hell are you talking about That as others pointed out A: He actually proposed solutions to peoples material needs (even though half of what he promised was stuff he was never going to follow up on and the other half was blaming things on the Undesirables) and B: The other candidates were just as evil if not more so (shout out to Ted Cruz), and more organized and methodical on how they were going to do it. Evil enough that even the standard base GOP voter could see them for what they were. Feldegast42 has issued a correction as of 02:59 on Nov 4, 2019 |

Trump didn’t really seduce anyone—he won because Clinton depressed the vote by being a bad candidate and pushing the message that her victory was inevitable. If she had run a better campaign, those few thousand trump voters wouldn’t have mattered.

i had a nice meltdown in the republican primary thread about trump when i realized what he was he absolutely destroyed the republicans because as big of an idiot as he is, his idiocy was dwarfed by that of the others on stage. like, let's remember that Jeb!'s pitch was "outreach to conservative latinos." trump is a monster. the gop are morons who probably would have managed to lose to hillary.

Trump really isn't that bad compared to the majority of literally every other American politician in the Republicans or Democrats and the only reason people think he is is because of decorum-poisoning about how he should act 'Presidential' (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

If she had run a better campaign, those few thousand trump voters wouldn’t have mattered. yeah lol trump promised economically irrelevant areas a return to prosperity and promised to put non-whites in their place he is every boomer's dream because he is white america personified: proud of being ignorant, obese, and totally devoid of culture that isn't manufactured propaganda for the military industrial complex if you think clinton depressed the vote by being a bad candidate and not through external machinations you're in for a rude surprise when trump cruises to victory again, boomers are full bore in their die off and states need to purge hundreds of thousands of voters in order to keep states from flipping blue and even if trump manages to crash the economy and let a democrat into the white house, you can be for drat sure there will be a huge push to reduce the power of the presidency because voter purges/voter suppression is only going to be effective for so long until it's unreasonable to expect a gop candidate to ever win. the shitlibs will go along with it because trump is the ultimate boogeyman of unchecked power, and the republicans know that gerrymandering is now sacrosanct and with the house of reps being physically limited to 435 people plus, look at re-urbanization, economic decline, heroin, and suicide being the perfect storm where you're going to end up really enjoying 2 senators from a state that has a lower population than a 2nd tier city in a coastal state clinton was universally awful candidate, but you're overlooking that people know trump was a mush brained racist moron in 2016 and didn't want him anywhere near the white house yet thanks to some timely stolen polling data (that no one wants to admit to) bannon found a weak point in a few rust belt states and something like 100k votes managed to sway the election just enough, with a solid assist from comey and the fbi

Hodgepodge posted:you forgot starting pointless wars but yes if you end up discussing politics with conservative family members or trying to push them leftward (which is not really an awesome use of time but if you feel like you need to claw back your parents’ souls or something) initially just focusing on how much money the govt has available to it can really make some headway. like just the grift that goes on in the military industrial complex yearly would pay for insane social programs even if we didn’t change other policies and laws in ways we definitely need to
